Michael Voris: Madrid and London
Everyone who is not an active follower of the Catholic blogosphere seems to know the one mainstream news item about the World Youth Day: there was a protest and the excuse for the protest was the cost of the visit. Michael Voris deals with it quite well. I would add that this demonstrates the values of the mainstream media which focusses on a protest by 150 people (a generous estimate) as opposed to the faith of the million or so who are gathering for the Pope's visit. (And in fact, the visit will cost the Spanish government nothing, but will bring in around 100 million euro to the Spanish economy.)
As I mentioned in June, Michael Voris is coming to London next Wednesday 24 August. I'm disappointed that I won't be able to get there myself, as I am away. If you are in reach of London, this promises to be an entertaining and inspiring event. You don't have to agree with everything Michael Voris says, or the way he says it - he's a guy open to debate and discussion.

Well, I've watched a lot of Michael Voris and I think that this is the definitive Voris broadcast. No holds bared and telling the Truth, shooting straight from the hip.
I think all Catholics should watch this as a wake up call. I also think all the atheists, agnostics, secularists (call them what you will) should watch this, as a wake up call, as well.
Michael Vorris is popular because he 'calls a spade a spade'. I got criticised recently for defending John Hagee and other protestants of his 'ilk'. They do exactly the same as Michael Voris and nobody in their congregations is left un- aware that if they do not follow the Gospel then they are dicing with eternity.
I think we need more straight talking in the Catholic Church. The ironic thing here is that when I grew up we had a 'fire and brimstone' priest who used to scare everyone. However, with the advantage of a few years and hind sight I can now see that he was only trying to save souls. I'm not sure about the fire and brimstone approach but, I think that Michael Voris as got it spot on with his extremely forthright and well informed approach.
Michael Voris you are a star. Thank you for standing up for the Church.
Had the protesters thought about the cost to the taxpayers of Spain of policing their posturings?
So the collapsing Spanish economy is due to relativism. I wondered what the cause was.
@ Father Finigan
These protests echo those that accompanied the Pope's visit to the UK & London.
They are a fleabite compared to massive impact made by the Holy Father's presence.
Our Lady of the Rosary ( http://the-hermeneutic-of-continuity.blogspot.com/2010/10/celebrating-parish-feast-day.html ) pray for us!

Hi Fr Tim.
(As yesterday, FYI)
Here's a link to Mark Shea's measured response to the CNA piece I sent you about Michael Voris, if you haven't seen it already:

We now look for the new army of Saints among the laity, who will become the new recasters, modelers and remoulders of consciences; there is a need for Saints not scholars. Priests you are among the finest diplomats and graduates, professors worthy of University chairs but this is useless without ardent and valiant Prayer and Sacrifice, Penance, alas few Priests have appetite for souls, anymore, words filled with mediocrity, indifference, so exhausted. We now look to the laity to compel those without God to hear his words, the irresitible power of Love, beauty and certainty of our Faith to save what can still be saved in a fragmented and broken society which is increasing turning away from the Living God at great speed, and as a consequence with unparralel consequences that will befall all of Mankind.
I have found no historical records of any kind that Priscilianists refused Holy Communion on the tongue. It would be helpful if Mr. Vorris would provide the references which have resulted from his historical research.
Father,
There is widespread dismay at the very biassed coverage of World Youth Day by the BBC.
I have submitted a formal complaint, and would hope that thousands of others do. Would you be good enough to post something on the subject?
Complaints can be made at

Thank you.
After WYD in Sydney the merchants complained that the WYD pilgrims had contributed no money to the city and a major Sydney newspaper said that the pilgrims had brought disease. I don't know if any of that is true but that was what was in the media.
Mark Shea also has this to say on Voris today:

I have put in my complaint to the BBC about the biased coverage of World Youth Day. I hope every one else as.

It only takes a couple of minutes.
That major Sydney newspaper is notoriously anti-christian and even more anti-catholic.
